Many complained they had no control over their lives. Some stumbled in high school or hit college and unravels. Bill is a clinical neuropsychologist who helps kids gripped by anxiety or struggling to learn. Ned is a motivational coach who runs an elite tutoring service. Together they discovered that the best antidote to stress is to give kids more of a sense of control over their lives. But this doesn't mean giving up your authority as a parent. In this ground-breaking book they reveal how you can actively help your child to Sculpt a brain that is resilient and ready to take on New challenges. The self-driven child offers a combination of cutting-edge brain Science, The latest discoveries in behavioural therapy and case studies drawn from the thousands of kids and teens Bill and Ned have helped over the years to teach you how to set your child on the real road to success.

Grounded and compassionate guidance every parent can use
As a psychologist and mom of teens, I highly recommend this sensitive and science-based perspective on why empowering our kids to take control of their lives is so vitally important. Through straightforward and easy to understand discussions, along with relatable and humorous anecdotes, the authors take the reader by the hand and show us how easy it can be to help kids face their life, and their challenges, with more courage and drive. One of my favorite passages addresses the familiar dilemma of how and when to let your kids fail, especially when the stakes feel so high. The authors offer grounded words of caution in trying to protect them from themselves, and ultimately doing too much: "The adults supporting these kids have the best intentions. They just want to make sure nothing slips through the cracks. But trying to protect a kid from himself year after year will weaken him... Remember that ultimately his school work is his problem, and that if you work harder to help him than he does, you are doing him no favors." Cultivating a sense of power and autonomy is critical to coping with stress effectively, as well as growing the confidence we need to keep trying when life gets tough. The authors explain the science and distill these broad principles into dozens of concrete strategies we can start adding to our parenting toolbox tonight. This inspiring, yet fiercely practical, book should be a go-to resource for any parent looking to raise stronger, more confident kids.
